OWNER’S MANUAL
Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the versatile and powerful Crate GX-140D
amplifier with Digital Sound Processing and Stereo Chorus. With two flexible
channels, Crate’s patented “Flex Wave” distortion circuitry, 31 digital effects, a
Stereo Effects Loop and three footswitchable functions, the GX-140D offers you
more flexibility and performance than any amplifier in its class.
Like all Crate products, your GX-140D is Musician Made in the U.S.A.,
using only the best components. Extensive testing at the hands (and ears) of
skilled technicians and musicians insures you that this amplifier is the absolute
best it can be.
In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to
go over the information contained in this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you
for choosing
GX-140D Amplifier
GX-140D Amplifier
REAR PANEL:
24: AC LINE IN: This heavy-duty, grounded, three-wire
power cord is to be plugged into ONLY a safely-wired,
grounded 120 volt, 60 cycle AC power outlet. DO NOT
attempt to defeat the ground connection of this cable! If
your GX-140D was purchased outside of the United
States, see the unit’s rear panel for its power rating and fol-
low the above guidelines.
25,26: POWER AMP 1, 2 SPEAKERS: You may connect
the outputs of the GX-140D to your external speakers
using these jacks. When connecting speakers use a
matched pair; that is, two speakers with the same imped-
ance to insure optimum performance from the amplifier.
The amp 2 speaker jacks (#26) carry the chorus signal
(when the chorus is on) while the amp 1 jacks (#25) are
“dry” (without the chorus effect).
NOTE: The total impedance for each side should not be
less than 4 ohms.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT CERTAIN EXPORT UNITS:
In some areas 1/4” speaker jacks are not acceptable
for use on amplifiers capable of high output power
levels. For this reason the 1/4” speaker jacks on your
amplifier may be sealed – in this case, use the
Speakon
®
jacks provided.
27: STEREO LINE IN: When using a stereo effects
deivce, connect its output here. This stereo 1/4” phone
jack is wired as follows: Ring = amp 1, tip = amp 2, sleeve
= ground.
28: STEREO LINE OUT: When using a stereo effects
deivce, connect this jack to its input. This stereo 1/4”
phone jack is wired as follows: Ring = output 1, tip = out-
put 2, sleeve = ground.
If your effects device has stereo input and output jacks,
use a pair of three-conductor stereo patch cords to con-
nect to it. If the device has separate left and right jacks, use
a pair of one-stereo-male to two-mono-female Y-adapters
to make the connections, as shown to the right.
29: MONO LINE OUT: When using a mono effects
device, connect this jack to its input.
30: CHANNEL/GAIN SELECT FOOTSWITCH: Plug a
dual footswitch (such as the Crate CFP-2 or the “stereo”
plug of the Crate CFP-3) here to control Channel Selection
and the Gain Select button. The footswitch overrides the
front panel switches (#5 and 9) and is wired as follows:
Ring = Gain Select, tip = Channels, sleeve = ground.
31: CHORUS/EXPANDER FOOTSWITCH: Plug a single
footswitch (such as the Crate CFP-1 or the “mono” plug of
the Crate CFP-3) here to control the Chorus/Expander.
The footswitch overrides the front panel on/off switch
(#17); selection between the Chorus and the Expander is
still controlled by the front panel selector switch (#18).
Connecting to the Insert jack:
The Insert jack (#16) lets you patch external effects into the
amplifier just prior to its chorus/expander stage. Use Crate’s
STP201, STP202 or STP203 stereo-to-mono Y-cord or an
adapter such as Crate’s YPP117 and 2 1/4” mono signal
cables to connect to the effect as shown below.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to use headphones in the
Speaker jacks! Permanent hearing damage could result!

THE DSP SECTION:
You can program six different effects into your GX-140D:
two for the Clean Channel and four for the Overdrive
Channel. Follow these simple instructions to program
the presets:
PROGRAMMING A PRESET:
1. Select the Clean Channel (the green led will be lit).
2. Turn the Chorus/Expander OFF (button OUT).
3. Turn the DSP Mode knob to the desired effect.
4. You have just stored the effect for the Clean Channel
with Chorus/Expander OFF. You can change the preset
any time by returning to this same channel and Chorus
selection and turning the Mode knob. The new effect
will be stored at this setting until you change it again.
•Every time you select the Clean Channel with the
Chorus/Expander “OFF” the amp recalls this effect. The
“DSP Level” control sets the effect level.
PROGRAMMING THE OTHER PRESETS:
1. Select the Clean Channel (the green led will be lit).
2. Turn the Chorus/Expander ON (button IN)
3. Turn the DSP Mode knob to the desired effect.
4. Repeat for the Overdrive Channel with the Shape
and Chorus/Expander OFF, Shape and Chorus/
Expander ON, Shape ON and Chorus/Expander OFF,
Shape OFF and Chorus/Expander ON. You can change
any of the presets any time by turning the Mode knob.
The new effects will be stored at each amp setting until
you change it again.
•Every time you select one of the amp’s modes (the
Overdrive Channel, Shape and Chorus/Expander OFF,
for example) the amp recalls the effect set for that
mode. The “DSP Level” control sets the effect level.
